Jack, Rudy - Do you want to continue playing? (I might be able to get another player my dad knows)

Does Brian not get a say?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Um, sorry Brian. Totally forgot about you. I'm a bad person.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

I'm assuming we're go.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Meant to post this yesterday - The next dungeon will be a seige situation - You're the attackers.

Server online.

Today's Random: [100d20] = 1112

Edit 1: Narf has arrived.
Edit 2: Anybody else coming? It's 15 after.

[Jack Simth]

Game broke up due to other issues.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Such as no players (Jack had to leave). Brian, Rudy - Unless you both post here that you'll show up, there really isn't much point, unless one of you wants to have random encounters. It is a fort...

[Atrocities]

I do hope that the anti-post padding measures go into effect soon. Narf look out, one word posts will subtrack 10 posts from your count each offense. LOL You'll be -10,000 posts before you know it.

I think you posted that in the wrong thread.

More trouble - Got a server up and running, but not sure how to add a room.

[Jack Simth]

The little "Create Room" button from the Game Server window will work for a one-shot; for a longer-tern solution, you need to edit server_ini.xml (in /openRPG/myFiles)to something like:
Code:

---

<server>

  <service port='6774' address='hostname/address' />

  <map file='myfiles/Lobby_map.xml' />

  <message file='myfiles/LobbyMessage.html' />

  <validate_protocol value='true' />

  <room_defaults>

    <passwords allow='yes'/>

    <map file=''/>

    <message file='myfiles/LobbyMessage.html'/>

  </room_defaults>

  <room name="D and D" password="NotTelling" boot="NotThis">

    <map file='myfiles/Lobby_map.xml' />

    <message file='myfiles/LobbyMessage.html' />

  </room>

  <cheat text='**Fudged Roll**' help='The text will be included in any faked roll by anyone but a GM' />

</server>

---

And then restart the server, of course.

I've actually got my server set up so that all I need to do is run the shortcut (or have the task schedular run it for me) with some command line arguments already included:

start_server.py -p -n Loony -l NotThis

(starts server, registers as "Loony", lobby password "NotThis")

Note that all passwords have been changed in the above examples. Those aren't quite what I use.

If you want to connect to your own server, you can't just select it from the list in the game server as when connecting to someone else's (I couldn't, anyway - might be a security issue with my router - but I can get around it trivially). To connect to your own server, type Code:

---

127.0.0.1:6774

---

into the address bar from the game server window and hit the connect button.
